To be perfectly honest, I'm working my way back up to medium jumps. I got hurt a couple seasons go and it sort of took the courage out of me (I'm getting older too). I do know that the bigger jumps gave me more time to hold my grab and actually let me spot my landing better. You know, small jumps are so quick that you really don't have time to spot your landing. Well, at least if you are doing something other than a straighty. It's just that when you fall, it does hurt more haha.

I am stable on the small jumps but the next size jump is 2x bigger then im on now. I can hit these small jumps all day.

Back in my bicycle days going off a small jump was just that. Going over a large jump to some skill. What am i going to find is different from the small jump im on now to the big ones.

I would say the jumps i am getting over are the size of jumps in Slyders pics. I can clear them with no problem. I can clear them with a grab as well. What do i do to get ready for the next jump? I would say the next jump will get me 2x the air and distance. Do i just go for it?

square up before take off.. keep your shoulders and knees in sync in a line with your shoulders matching your knees..
most park jumps all u need is speed. u don't need to ollie just use speed and the lip, square up and stay compressed.
